To explain, the "street" in this book is not the "XX Street" [XX Road] that everyone is familiar with today, but refers to the administrative area of the unit, and China currently also retains the unit of "street", but it is only the size of the township.

In ancient Japan, the word "street" is not an official term, but it has been used to this day, and the scope can be large or small, generally larger than "country", such as the Yamanashi Street and Urawa Street in the Koshinanono area, in general, most of them are smaller than "Michi", but there are also "big streets" such as Hokuriku Street that covers Hokuriku Province and part of Higashiyama Road.

[Adult, wake up, can you go to the toilet with me.] 】

But the answer is not talking, it is still snoring.

One of the heralds next to him seemed to hear his [pleading], but the guy who had been running around all day was too tired to stand it, and he wanted to suffer this again, and the warm bed was far more pleasing to the eye than the cold and dark toilet.

【Baga...... You stinky little...... I won't go, but if I can't, I'll just ...... Bedwetting is okay......]

He rolled over, changed into a position that looked comfortable, and fell into a deep sleep.

Whew~~~ scared my dad to death, fortunately he didn't wake up, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to go anywhere.

He took his hat from the pillow of the man beside him, got up lightly, twisted the lamp small, and returned to the bedside, and gently took the herald's cotton coat, and put it on his body;

At the same time, covering his clothes under his feet, and taking two steps, he thought, the picture bag on the next table, which contained the enemy's plan, was of great use. So he turned around and listened outside the door, and there was still snoring in the two houses, so he first stuck his head to the next house and saw that the two flags were facing the wall.

The gate was closed, and the guards stood outside.

He boldly went in, twisted the candle lightly, gently picked up the picture bag, returned to the original house, and went out the door, when a cold air enveloped him, and he was covered with sweat, as if in a dream. After walking a few dozen steps, he cried out in the darkness:

[Password! 】

[Wise Kogoro is a deflated three. There was no reason at all to report this disrespectful slogan.

He passed in front of the sentry, and the sentry asked him:

【Where to go?】 】

[Send a message to the front village.] 】

[What kind of letter do you send in the middle of the night?] 】

The guard didn't seem to believe him, but the river wasn't afraid.

[I don't know why the general gave such an order, or I will stand guard for you? You're going to run for me? 】

[!] It's dark in the middle of the night, it's so cold, so Lao Tzu doesn't have to suffer this crime, since it's the general's order, what are you still doing here? Let's go. 】

The guards couldn't help but say something, and pushed the river out in the dark......

The river groped in the dark.

If today's urban children were allowed to walk at night in the mountains in winter, it would probably make them cry all night.

In fact, Dahe was also scared, but there was no turning back from the bow, and now it is impossible to go back, and he must find his own army as soon as possible, otherwise once the enemy finds out, he will not have the good luck to survive last time.

There was a village two miles to the west, and he didn't know if there was a team stationed there, but he had lived here two days ago, and he knew the terrain in this area, and he saw that there were many enemies coming this time, so there would definitely be an army.

He replied, and the guards had no doubts.

When he was still half a mile from the village, he looked in the direction and knew that it was a street leading to the north, and that afternoon he had heard that the ninjas of his family had engaged in a small, non-scale battle with the enemy ninjas.

Could it be that the general and the lady are there? Then I must hurry up.

He estimated that his troops might be in that direction.

However, he thought that he could not go any further in the direction he had come, and that he could not enter the village again, so he climbed the hill on the right side of the road and walked through the rocky grass;

Quickly to the top of the mountain, he was afraid that the enemy would be on guard on the mountain, so he listened carefully to whether there was any sound, walked a few steps to listen, listened and walked a few steps, and finally reached the top of the mountain, before he breathed a sigh.

What a desperate escape.

He walked along the mountain beam in the northwest, and after midnight, he heard the voice of someone on the east side of the mountain, and asked and answered:

[What do you see?] 】

[No, the enemy is far from here, they are all in the ditch. 】

[Which Yoshikawa army is here?] 】

[I don't know which one. 】

[How many?] 】

[A lot of it.] I heard that the nearby villages are full, Xianwang Township (where is the terrier?) All the villages are also full. 】

[Did you go down to the ditch?] 】

[Nope.] There were a lot of people running out of the village halfway up the slope, and they knew it very well. 】

He judged that the person who spoke was either a Shinsengumi or a ninja, so he shouted:

[Brother over there, what part are you?] 】

The two men were so surprised that they were so focused on talking that they didn't even notice that someone had approached without realizing it.

【Are you accurate?】 Password! 】

[There is no password, but he fled back from the enemy. 】

[Are you a prisoner of war? 】

[Pretty much.] 】

[Which unit's?] 】

[The general's main formation. 】

[What?! Are you someone close to the general?! 】

[It's true. 】

[So how many of you are there?] 】

[It's me.] 】

[How is it a person?] 】

[Ran away.] 】

The person who asked him was none other than the ninja who had come out on a mission.

They heard his accent, which didn't look like a local, and it was a child, and they called him over.

They told him the direction of the main movement of the Wise Army, and promised to take him down the path to catch up with the troops.

The next morning, Taiga went to the village where Akechi Kogoro lived and entered the village.

From a distance, I saw Yanagi Qian wearing a feather weaving, with her head down, pacing up and down in a small open space outside a newly built small house, as if she had something on her mind.

[Miss! 】

Dahe walked up to him and shouted.

The eldest lady was startled, and when she saw the guy in front of her, she was surprised and said:

[Ah...... Yes! River! It's really you...... What did you do? 】

[It's a long story...... But Miss, can you take your hands off first? It hurts...... I'm going to crush your shoulders like this. 】

【Oh...... Good...... I still have rice cakes there, have you eaten, do you want to ......]

Yanagi Akane saw the things on Dahe's back and couldn't help asking:

[Is that thing yours?] 】

[It's not mine, it's Yoshikawa Motoharu's. There's a lot of stuff in there. 】

[Really? Your ability to steal has improved again, and you have stolen it to Yoshikawa Motoharu?! 】

[Miss, are you really praising me with this sentence......]

[Uh, hahahahaha, I've always been straightforward and fast-talking, and I don't have a head or a brain...... Come, since it's Yoshikawa Motoharu's thing, you can't underestimate it, come with me to see the general! 】

When he saw my [office], Dahe immediately took down the picture bag and gave it to me, and at the same time told him the brief story of his capture and escape yesterday, and I immediately opened the purse and took out the documents while listening to him.

It was orders, bulletins, brushes, and inkstones, and I flipped through the documents one by one, and hurried over to find the important ones.

I noticed the order, which was followed by a diagram with a circle, and suddenly my eyes lit up, my face changed, and I sighed.

[What's the matter, General?! 】

It was an order issued by Mori Terumoto to Iwami Province four days ago for a general attack on the Yoshikawa army, which listed the numbers of each reserve of the Wise Army, estimated the direction of action of the Wise Army, especially the current situation of the Wise Army, and had a detailed analysis, Mr. Mori believed that the Wise Army had many difficulties, the most important thing was the fatigue of the long-distance expedition, but the Yoshikawa Army had various favorable conditions, the most important thing was the strong strength of the army, and the transportation was convenient, and the various local tyrants in Iwami Province were required to cooperate with Yoshikawa Motoharu with the greatest determination to quickly eliminate the Wise Army in a short period of time, The dots and lines drawn in different colors on the attached drawings are criss-crossed, and there are several large vector marks, one of which is shot from the southeast direction to Aikawa, and a large cross is drawn next to the vector mark.

That's where the battle took place a few days ago, and where we were attacked to be exact.

What does this mean, our every move is in the enemy's sight?

At this time, I was very aware of the fact that Mori Terumoto and Yoshikawa Motoharu, two uncles and nephews, were very excited about another great encirclement plan of the Akechi Army, and for a month, in order to collect materials for the enemy's attack, especially in the northwest, I needed more specific materials, and I thought of many methods, but I did not get them.

Even the Yamazaki Rangers who were sent out to find out the news are now in the sea, and it is difficult to receive any news.

I got up early in the morning, and from time to time I talked with Hosokawa Fujitaka, Akechi Samasuke, Honda Masanobu and others about the big and small situations I had gotten, and did research, trying to get some clues.

And although they can judge the main direction of the enemy in general terms, and also make a preliminary determination on the basis of these materials -- to move to the northwest -- but since the situation is not very specific, it is necessary to supplement new materials before they can finally be sure.

The materials brought by Dahe made the enemy's situation clear and the troops could start moving immediately, he exhaled his breath, as if he had relieved himself of a thousand pounds of burden, and he was grateful and admired Dahe, who had obtained valuable materials, and hugged his head and said:

[Dahe, you have become a little hero! I stole the order of Maori Terumoto! 】

【Maori Terumo? Is it the leader of the enemy? 】

[Hmm...... You've done a great job, what reward do you want? Just tell me. 】

[Reward? I ......]

From the moment he came to me, Taiga thought about how to become a glorious high-ranking samurai, but now that it was time for me to give him a chance, he began to hesitate.

[How?] Don't you want to reward? 】

[No...... I just haven't figured out what to ask for yet. 】

[Hahaha, since that's the case, then I'll give you an order.] 】

[Huh? 】

[What do you think of the Honda-sama of the family?] 】

[Huh? 】

What do you do when you bring up Honda Masanobu?

Seeing that he hadn't reacted yet, I smiled and patted him on the head.

[You kid is elf enough, even Yoshikawa Motoharu can't kill you, this intelligence is too wasteful if you don't cultivate it well, so ...... From today onwards, you will be my paradox-sama as a paradox. 】

【……】

Seeing that he had grown his mouth and was speechless, I said:

[Honda is the brains of the family, follow him and do a good job, and he will make great achievements in the future. 】
